Publicación: Washington, D.C. [Etc.] : Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, 2020Descripción física: 46 p.Notas: Sumario: United States Trade Developments 2020 provides an overview of selected developments in United States trade relations with Latin America and the Caribbean and of measures that inhibit the free flow of goods among countries in the Western Hemisphere. This is an annual report elaborated by the ECLAC Washington Office. This year's report has a special focus on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on trade related issues. The measures taken to contain the spread of the new coronavirus affected significantly the supply of goods and services, due to the interruption of production and distribution, as well as global demand due to the loss of income. Restrictions on movement and social distancing have directly affected transport, travel, and tourism, all industries directly linked to trade in services. The effects on trade flows were further magnified by restrictions imposed on trade of critical medical supplies and pharmaceutical products and potentially food products.
